Benjamin Disraeli
Christianity is completed Judaism or it is nothing.
Benjamin Disraeli
The constitution of England is not a paper constitution. It is an aggregate of institutions, many of them founded merely upon prescription, some of them fortified by muniments, but all of them the fruit and experience of an ancient and illustrious people.
